Mixed warmth-and-competence stereotypes ideologically justify existing social hierarchies.

Evidence

Nevertheless, our view is more general, at once applying to many more social groups and going beyond analyses of specific roles. We also emphasize the functional compatibility of combinations that mix perceived competence and warmth, whereby the high–low combination justifies resentment, the low–high combination justifies subordination, and both maintain the status quo. — Susan T.

• XREF: Bridges directly to the reader’s target: why envied high-competence outgroups get scapegoated precisely through the ‘justifies resentment’ function. — connects to: Stereotypes justify existing social arrangements and preserve the status quo — John F.
